#AcademicRunPlaylist - 5/18/24

We got a look at some old US military vehicles at a town event, and after spending more time looking at 70+ year old ambulances than my kids would've liked I was able to listen to some talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was an interesting talk by Alvin Roth on marketplaces and market design in socially fraught areas at the LSE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5qCvMqqwC8

Next was a great talk by Pierre Andre Chiappori on assortative matching and human capital investment in families over recent decades at the Paris School of Economics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Daow9gX-NR4

Next was a nice talk by Ali Bayat on the cultural foundations of corporate control at the Alliance Manchester Business School https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trbEGG3odps

Next was an intriguing talk by Maarten Goos on the social value of middlemen at the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ4i69wVN7Q

Next was a wide-ranging talk by Kathleen Carley on influencing networks in caregiving systems and online at the SONIC Research Group https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdWwzDsS9u8

Next was a fascinating symposium on musical copyright through a historical lens at the UCL Faculty of Laws with Christophe Rousset, Robin Jacob, and Michael Fysh. After focusing on modern music copyright cases, the panel looks back at Mozart - with a number of examples that indicate that today he might be classified as a "pirate." While this talk is from years ago, there are certainly lessons to be drawn for the current generative AI debates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3pxipZFSBc

Next was a sweeping talk by Chrysanthi Gallou on the influence of local maritime features on Mycenaen civilization at the School of Advanced Study, University of London https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQyBsW_KJHM

Next was an engaging talk by Anna Sfard on approaches to understanding human learning at the University of Melbourne https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pkcdP2oVyU

Last was an excellent talk by Frank Pasquale on humane automation at CRASSH. The fact that this talk is from nearly 7 years ago yet still rings true is impressive, and indicative of how little the narrative has progressed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOUx61pb1gA
